Il Sole Shutters For Revamp, Reopening Early 2011

After years of catering to stars and starlets, Sunset Blvd's celeb-loved Italian haunt, Il Sole, shutters December 11 for an interior and exterior remodel. No menu or chef shuffles, but up above a rendering of the new facade. Looks like that outdoor dining area -- open in the summer, screened in via plastic curtains in the winter-- becomes permanent indoor dining space. A reopening is scheduled for late January/early February 2011. [EaterWire]
